That film gave me nightmares! I agree an amazing sight though and I would hate to live near where they roost, far too noisy in a morning.
AshLee I just gotta add that I completely love your signature. Poll at work says that's the best one they've ever seen

I see similar sights behind my house from time to time - but not as many as 50,000

Hi.
Went to Buckenham this afternoon to see the rook roost.
What a sight.
They had started gathering in trees and fields and on telephone wires when I arrived at about 4.30. At just after 5.30 they all took to the air and wheeled around calling over the trees and then just decended into cover. At 5.45 it was almost dark most had landed. It wasn't like waders who almost seem to be in unison. The rooks seemed to be just flying and gliding in any direction they wanted to.
Added some pictures but they are not the greatest. it was getting dark and I haven't done much low light work before.    
Cheers David |

I like the one on the right - in the trees. To quote Don Mclean The birds like leaves on Winterwood,
Sing hopeful songs on dismal days.
They've learned to live life as they should.
They are at peace with natures ways.
Uplifting sight
